Fall in Coffee Form

So I totally got (stole?) this idea from my friend Jess. We were on the phone talking about fall and coffee, fall flavored coffee, and how much we love all of that. You would probably be amazed by how often this comes up as a topic. We haven't seemed to exhaust this subject. We clearly are not adults, but children. Children who drink coffee. Incidentally, Max would like to be one of those. He loves swiping sips from my mug. I have learned to guard my mug more carefully. But just the other day Jess and I were talking about FAVORITE COLORS. We were having the same conversations that preschoolers have. I'm guessing tomorrow will bring some in-depth explorations on our favorite and least favorite animals. Jess was talking about how she loves getting pumpkin pie flavored coffee and stirring in cream and maple syrup. I was like oh my god, that might be one of the best things ever. So the next morning, I added some pumpkin pie spices to the coffee grounds before brewing as usual, and then stirred in a maple syrup mixture. It was... well... Fall, in coffee form. Pretty much the only way I can experience Fall here.But not longer! This Thursday, Seth, Max and I are heading back East, and we get to do all those awesomely cheesy festive autumn things - like pumpkin patches, and hay rides, and corn mazes, and apple orchards. Jess and I can drink this coffee - together! All while we talk about very important life subjects such as favorite colors and favorite animals.

I am totally like a kid in a candy shop when it comes to creamy, flavoured coffee... but I've never tried making my own! Thanks for the recipe, Jenn. I am definitely going to be making this amazing-looking brew! :)

You can have all the fall. I'll take your weather any day!! But...I must admit...the idea of the way this coffee would smell is pretty amazingggg (since I don't like to drink coffee but am oddly in love with the way it smells :P)

Oh fall! And oh coffee! Especially deliciously flavored coffee. Thank you for sharing another tasty recipe and delightful post, my friend. I hope you have a wonderful week full of ample plates of good food!

Out East is where it's at, dude. And I see nothing wrong with having a conversation about colors. I got to study colors in my Perception class, and I wrote a paper about color for my Psycholinguistics class. It's a totally adult thing.

Like this coffee. I don't normally like coffee, but this recipe has me totally tempted to make some.

I am somewhat of a coffee purist, but my daughter has tried some sort of coffee/pumpkin drink and is absolutely obsessed with it. I'm going to have to forward this her way! And, well, I just might have to try some myself!

Hi! I stopped by because I read your comment on Juanita's Cocina and I realized we have something in common... we love coffee! :) I have a Coffee Friday feature and link up party so hopefully you will join us tomorrow with this post! :) It's beautiful and would love to see it there! Great picture!
